Prawn Fry / Chemmeen Porichathu is a spicy fry in South Indian style using Gambooge (Kudampuli).Ā This can be a starter and can be eaten with boiled rice andĀ Roti.

Prawns have lots of Vitamin B (Boosts Immunity),Ā low in fat, rich in protein,Ā Zinc, Iron and Omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 lowers blood triglycerides, which areĀ linked to heart disease and stroke.Ā But at the same time they are said to be high with cholesterol content also. So prawns can be a recipe for special occasions only and not recommended for a daily diet.
Try and enjoy the prawn fry!!!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 kg devein and cleaned prawn
  • 2 small piece Gambooge (Kudampuli)
  • 1 tbsp Ginger paste
  • 1 tbsp Garlic paste
  • 2 tbsp Red Chilli powder
  • 1 tbsp Coriander powder
  • 1/2 tbsp Turmeric powder
  • 1/4 tbsp Fennel seed powder
  • 10 Curry leaves
  • 1/2 cup Water

  • 6 tbsp Coconut oil

Method

Step 1

In a thick bottomed wok mix all the ingredients other than coconut oil with prawn and keep the wok on the high flame.

Step 2

Let the mixture boil on high flame for 5 minutes with lids closed.

Step 3

Then on high flame evaporate extra water. Once the gravy dries, add coconut oil and fry the prawn on high flame quickly.
